A stained-glass advertisement for the Czech electronics company TESLA is located in the Světozor Passage in Prague. Created by artist František Hudeček in 1947, this artwork features the TESLA radio logo and is a historical example of sophisticated urban branding.

The TESLA company is unrelated to the American electric car manufacturer, despite the shared name. It was a state-run manufacturer of electronic equipment under the Communist government of Czechoslovakia until 1991, when it was privatized.
